In short: First ever race, used it as a warm up for the Great Manchester Run, expected a scenic trot on a cool summers evening. Got a soaking wet sprint and the wheels fell off at 4K, but carried on to finish in 21:22. Loved it and will be back next year.Date of review: May 13, 2007

In short: Well managed, flat left-hand course.In full: Start is about a kilometre away from the finish so parking is a bit of a pain. Decent race though, I'd definitely do it again.Date of review: May 13, 2007

In short: Well-organised fast and friendly race, Shame about the rainIn full: Great fun for a Friday, fast, flat courrse, friendly marshalls in spite of bucketing rain. Good post-race pub (The Plough) who didn't mind me wringing out my vest in the gents.Date of review: May 12, 2007

In short: Excellent sprint in the rainIn full: Well the heavens opened just on time for the start of this one. Been feeling ropey all week but still managed to pull out a pb on this flat fast course that is well marshalled. Highly recommended to all.Date of review: May 11, 2007
